yii-user email

Yii 1.1 Extensions
1

Hi,

I’m using “yii-user” extension to manage the users of my web-application. (this)

When I try to register a new user, it should send an email to the email address specified, but it doesn’t work.

When I try to contact the administrator (in the “Contact” page) it doesn’t send the email.

The application works in localhost. Is this the problem?

In the main.php file, under testdrive/protected/config/ I’ve already changed the ‘adminEmail’. Is there any SMTP configuration?

Anyone can help me?

(I don’t want to use other extensions, I want to work with yii-user)

Thanks…

I know this is an old post, but who knows, maybe you haven’t found the solution yet…

you need to configure your php server’s smtp: in your php.ini file, look for something like


[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

; http://php.net/smtp

SMTP = localhost

; http://php.net/smtp-port

smtp_port = 25

and replace


SMTP = localhost

by


SMTP = <yourSMTPserver>

for example :


SMTP = smtp.gmail.com

You will need to restart your web server for this to be taken into account.

Cheers

It seems “yii-user” uses php mail() function to send email. However, it doesn’t work well with Windows.

I have done the following and made it work:

  1. Download sendmail.zip from glob.com.au/sendmail/

  2. Unzip this in c:\wamp\sendmail

  3. Modify PHP.INI file

[mail function]

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com

smtp_port = 465

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").

sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
